MotionBlox-40R
The MotionBlox-40R (eMB-40R) Distributed Servo Controller controls the amplifiers to power
the high-power motors of the Cobra 350 robot, and runs the eV+ operating system for motion
control of the robot.
The eMB-40R features:
l
Four AC servo motor amplifiers
l
Emergency stop circuitry
l
High servo rate, to deliver low positional errors and superior path-following
l
Sine wave commutation delivers low cogging torque and improved path-following
l
Digital feed-forward design maximizes efficiency, torque, and velocity
l
Integral temperature sensors and status monitoring for maximum reliability
l
Two-digit diagnostics display for easy troubleshooting
